THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON

BURBANK, Calif., March 14, 2008 — Since its June 2007 debut,
Army Wives, executive produced by Mark Gordon (
Grey's Anatomy), has become the most successful original series in the history of the Lifetime Television network.
Army Wives is a patriotic and thought-provoking drama about five military spouses who share friendship, secrets, home and heartache. Coming to DVD on June 10, 2008 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment,
Army Wives: The Complete First Season includes all 13 original episodes and exclusive bonus features including an un-aired storyline, deleted scenes, outtakes, cast interviews and more.
The show's talented ensemble cast includes Emmy® winner Kim Delaney ("
NYPD Blue"), Catherine Bell ("
JAG"), Sally Pressman ("
Shark"), Brigid Brannagh ("
Over There"), Brian McNamara ("
The O.C."), Sterling K. Brown ("
Starved"), Wendy Davis ("
Commander in Chief") and Drew Fuller ("
Charmed"). Executive producer Katherine Fugate (
The Prince and Me, Carolina) created the series based on
Under the Sabers: The Unwritten Code of Army Wives by journalist Tanya Biank, who serves as a consultant.
Army Wives: Season One has earned critical approval for its unflinching portrayal of the lives of four women and one man married to career members of the armed forces. On a South Carolina military base, far from family and old friends, the five turn to each other for emotional support, companionship and advice, as their loved ones tackle the dangerous business of defending the country. Elegant, educated Claudia Joy (Kim Delaney) serves as den mother to a disparate group that includes Roxy (Sally Pressman), a raucous, fun-loving bartender; Denise (Catherine Bell), who is hiding a secret that could destroy her family; Pamela (Brigid Brannagh), a surrogate mother trying to solve a financial crisis and Roland, a psychiatrist whose most important patient is his PTSD-afflicted wife (Wendy Davis). Bound together by pressures familiar to many military spouses, they build a bond that sustains them through sacrifice, loneliness and unforgiving conventions of Army life.
